I also do this to watch my patients gait and posture as they walk, so I can identify any further corrections I need to make, or gain insights into what else we need to work on in the treatment session. 

I also check in with my patients during the walking, to see if anything feels off to the patient, if anything is jumping out at them, or if the pain has moved/resolved, etc. My patients and I always work as a team to complete the treatment.

I also commonly tell my patients not to work out the day of and/or for a few days after the treatment, but to go for a walk that evening or do a lot of walking over the next few days. This is for the reasons listed in the infographic below as well! One of the best things that you can do after a chiropractic adjustment, is go walking. Use it as an opportunity to get outside, and to support and help your body in its healing process.
